Intro more info about yourself here or at your own user page here http://www.admpiere.com (i need more basic info such as level of capability and experience in software work. Or just state your real interests.

Good luck.. lets see how fast u can get it up and be in the global community at the same time as we move to action plan 2.. keep asking questions anytime here or in FB. Also if u want to meet me just ask at the Dorm level 9 or room 506 or just text me +6017 8869 378 with a complete msg so i know how to help u.

Kepat, the OS i used is MacOSX and before this i have used it on windows. All have the own issues but mostly permissions.
I think for Linux, its common to use Fedora and Ubuntu.

Jaggy! wow you re fast! .. ok prerequisites.. well since i am asking u all to do the whole stack which is quite thick.. some layers.. maybe u can start from an initial layer.. the adempiere361 itself. Just follow this steps first (which is same as in few places in the www.adempiere.com wiki about this):

0. You should install Postgresql DB i prefer version 8.4 but u can go for version 9. (maybe compatible issues as it is with my Mac Lion)
1. Back to your <adempiere-scource> go to utils_dev and do a RUN_build.sh
2. Find its contents of the Adempiere361.zip binary somewhere under /build/…
3. Extract that to your root and in your <adempiere361> or <home> you do a RUN_setup.sh
4. At /utils/RUN_ImportAdempiere.sh

jaggygauran, thanks for the information did u successfully set up the adempiere and able to use it? Thanks sorry for too much questions to you and Sir red, I am starting to get confused so I am reading the forums which makes me confuse maybe I just need to read and read and though I look stupid right now hopefully I would be able to step up further. I know I might be asking easy question ahaha,, but I am still trying to work it out.. =)) So thanks a lot

Our project is now in two branch direction. One is main trunk which i am not following due to stability issue. The other is the 361 to iDempiere which I am following as it is handled by the top stable maintainer Carlos Ruiz together with the top coder, Low Heng Sin. The kenai adempiere361 u checking is the one.

However the difference at the moment between these two trunks is very small and they mostly compatible. But after we switch to OSGi or the iDempiere version at kenai Hengsin, then we will focus only on iDempiere.

At the moment adempiere361 is always synch or same codebase as iDempiere. More info at jira.idempiere.com

For now after u setup your hg 361 you can follow the compile guide i gave in my last post above.

Kepat, your questions are not stupid. They are common ones. It is our project that has too much info and all over the place. This is the good and bad thing about open source. It is very powerful but it is very disorganised. That is why we need a good community that helps each other. Today i help you, tomorrow you help others in the same manner. Thank you for been active. I hope others are encouraged to follow suit. The more questions we ask, the less stupid we become. :P

Anyways, Kevin. I got it all working here in Ubuntu. I was able to check out everything and to build it successfully but right now, when I run the RUN_setup script. And don't worry about asking too much questions. It's better than asking none at all. :)

Sir Red1, I'm having some minor issues with the server setup of Adempiere. As the wiki said, I used 8080 for the web port and 8443 for the SSL port. I'm having some trouble with the Database Port (I installed PostgreSQL DB Port 5432).

Jag,
Please give more info on that port. Is it setup at 5432? You can run a RUN_Env.sh test (its in utils somewhere) or u can do independent test.
Another tip is to login (can u get to the launch splash dialog?) and at that window, do not login but click on the connection icon to test the DB server (do not test the app server - not needed).

Once u successfully gone thru this, it be good to document it yourself for others by writing in your own blog or at the wiki.

Thanks for the helps I've been receiving from both of you, just to share what I've been into this past few days I'm still trying to make the adempiere work. First I tried installing it using this installer http://sourceforge.net/projects/adempiere/. It was installed successfully but there have been minor problems, Sir Red told me that the database was already there. First we checked if the Postgresql is installed and yes it was there so we went to it and added a user in it but there was still some error that I just need to study and solve it. The database was there.

I would like to show the screen shot but I uninstalled it. Because I am going to use what sir red advice here in the forum using this https://hg.kenai.com/hg/adempiere361~adempiere361 one. It is not yet done in mercurial, so I can't try doing it. But later I if getting the files is not yet done or working then I would use the installer and try to solve and look it up from the net. My progress is slow but still I would do my best.

Today, I've learn about FitNesse from Sir Red1, it is a really powerful testing tools. To be honest at first I really didn't understand a thing about it, but with Sir's Red teaching and the internet I am getting to know it more and studying to how to run it. Sir Red1 taught me things like how it test with just simple a click. Also Sir Red used a plugin that the creator named it luminus OSGI it actually add features to the FitNesse Software like the scenario where it shows or explain the problems in simple english that anyone can understand it.

Sir this is james i just want to know what is the main focus of this project is it the adempiere itself or the open bravo POS? what source code are we going to get? is it all or some modules only? sorry for late posts

James, ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning is a complex and wide application that covers the whole backoffice operations. Last time it was mostly for factory shopfloor or large operations but now it is for more backoffice financials and so advanced till the front end such as POS or Point of Sales. So we are actually trying to master from A to Z which is very difficult. But with the recent POS apps such as openbravo POS we can use that to understand much better as POS is a good simpler concept to grasp first.

You can read the PDF guide in the Files section here i told you about before to understand why.
